The Smoothie HP is the “high protein” version of our Smoothie road frame that was part of our line for almost 20 years.
Extra large diameter, thin-wall Tange Prestige chromoly coupled with modern touches like thru-axles and compact geometry give this frame increased power transfer and road feel while still delivering a composed and plush ride at all speeds. The re-designed geometry combines a comfortable higher stack with a shorter wheelbase that rewards skillful riders.
Frame Features:
– Tange Prestige heat-treated double butted CrMo steel
– Extra oversized down tube and chainstays for greater pedaling stiffness
– Ovalized top tube for increased lateral stiffness and vertical compliance
– Size specific tubing (Larger diameter down tubes on the larger sizes)
